DRAFT December 19, 2012 A. Conduct design and financial feasibility studies in conjunction with City and Authority to determine viable options for the development and enhancement of the Proposed Development Site, and as may be amended to include County Parcels, and potentially adjoining properties that may be impacted by the proposed Grade Separation in the context of the transportation plans to be developed. B. Organize and initiate all necessary community outreach effort as may be deemed appropriate by the parties, with input and support from City and Authority staff. C. Prepare a Master Plan, that builds upon the Initial Master Plan, and complies with the standards found within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84). Said Master Plan shall include: a detailed project description including potential uses, approximate building square footages, parking, open space, and project amenities; and a conceptual site plan and at least two conceptual renderings. It is understood that the conceptual plan and conceptual renderings will not constitute a final project design and rather are being provided for illustrative purposes. The details of any final project design may be further refined through any subsequent process and subject to City standards and procedures. The Master Plan will be developed in furtherance of the following objectives: i. Enhance the Proposed Development Site by seeking to create a true sense of place and by providing a connection between the downtown and the growing transit corridor. ii. Create a sustainable mixed-use project that may include new transportation facilities (potentially City-owned), transit-related headquarters/offices, and depending upon the feasibility, adaptive reuse of the existing train station ("Depot"), residential components, ancillary retail/service commercial uses, additional office components, a child care component, public uses, and supportive parking so as to maximize transit and economic development opportunities on, and the value of, the Proposed Development Site, for the region as a whole. The Master Plan should also consider inclusion of the Fixed Guideway System and grade separation components, whose ultimate ownership and development may be retained by the City as public works projects. iii. Identify needed infrastructure. iv. Link neighborhoods and businesses with public transit. v. Enhance public spaces and streets. vi. Establish a viable implementation strategy, including a phasing schedule. EXHIBIT 1 3
